[PATCH 5/9] common/sfc_efx/base: count Rx TRUNC ERR as CRC errors on X4

From: Andy Moreton <andy.moreton at amd.com>

On X4 the MAC hardware reports both over-size packets and CRC errors
in the RX event flag RX_TRUNC_ERR. Over-size packets are only likely
as a result of a misconfigured network, so count the RX_TRUNC_ERR
events as CRC errors.
This workaround is only needed for the per-queue counters maintained
by the driver. The DMA statistics counters maintained by firmware
are not affected.
